Hello, it's Verity with another video and blog post as a Creative team member for WOW! Often people see heat embossing is just a way to add some shine to your stamping. But why not use it in a way that adds another design element to your cards.

In today's video, I'm focusing on Spotlight embossing and how you can use heat embossing to add a spotlight/focal element to your card, for which I have several different examples to show you from a simple idea for beginners to a few more stepped up ideas for more advanced crafters. Hopefully, you'll find one method that you like and that you might want to use in your next project.  Spotlight Embossing video:

Hi Everyone, Jenny here, and today I have a card for you that features neutral embossing powders and shimmer to create a glamorous embellished card with no sentiment :o



There's a video showing you the process to create this card which you can check out over on the WOW! Embossing YouTube channel here:



To create my card, I first added WOW! Embossing Clear Ultra Slow Drying ink all over a panel of black cardstock and then heat embossed it in WOW! White Pearl embossing powder.  This gives a lovely pearlescent sheen to the cardstock, almost silver if you tilt it in the light.


I then diecut the PinkFresh Studio GeoFloral coverplate die four times from 110lb cardstock. I adhered three of them together with spray adhesive.  For the fourth one, I inked it up with embossing ink and then heat embossed with WOW! Neutral Ultra Shimmer for a subtle sparkle before then adhering it over the top. I adhered the entire piece with liquid adhesive (sticks better to embossing) to the black / pearl pane…

Hello, it's Verity with another video and blog post as a Creative team member for WOW!  Have you got a few pearl embossing powders in your stash but unsure how to use them? I'm showing you with two cards how to use the pearl embossing powders to create stunning pearlized embossing on your cards. These differ from regular powders as these work best and transform when you use them on coloured and dark cardstock. The darker the card the more intense the colour of the powders. I'm showing you two ways, so if you don't have dark coloured card, stick around for card number 2 to see how you can use them on white card too.

Hello craft friends I hope you’re all well and looking forward to the festive season. It’s always nice to squeeze in another Christmas creation and I really enjoyed making this bauble card for this month’s DT inspiration.

I started by die-cutting a circle of white card which I then stamped a sentiment on and used the Wall Art Stamp around the edges. I inked over the stamped areas then embossed the card with Regular Clear Gloss embossing powder. While the powder was still warm I sprinkled Your Carriage Awaits Sparkles over the stamped areas then heated again with the heat tool.

I die-cut the reindeer and triple embossed them with two layers of Champers Embossing Powder and a light dusting of Metallic Gold Rich.

I then die-cut stars, stamped with the Starburst stamp then embossed with White Pearl Embossing Powder. I then sprinkled Bridal Sparkles on top while it was still warm and melted again with a heat tool.



After layering up all the elements I added some gems and dome stickers for …

Hello dear friends, Martha Lucia here to share with you a fantastic Christmas project that I created using one stamp set in three different ways. At first you may think this process is difficult but it's not, it was fun! Take a look at my card: 

On this card I used the stamp Secret Garden from WOW. This is a beautiful background that I love because their flowers are bold and very detailed. I used it to:
Stamp tone to tone - over the card baseStamp with heat embossing over the second layerStamp with emboss resist on the pine.

For the first step, stamping tone to tone, I simply inked the stamp with the WOW Embossing pad and stamped over the card base. The color of this is crumb cake and the stamped image obtained  is the same tone, only a little  darker. 
The second way was stamping the Secret Garden image over a piece of Very Vanilla card stock using WOW Embossing Pad and WOW White Pearl Regular Embossing Powder. I just melted the powder with the WOW heat tool and cut the entire …

This month we are focusing on favorites and I've got plenty of favorites on this card. I used my favorite technique, embossing resist. I also used another of my favorites for the sentiment, negative die cutting. 
I started out by stamping this months featured stamp (De-Vine, another of my favs) with Versamark embossing ink on watercolor paper and embossed it with White Pearl Embossing powder. It looks great as a resist and gives a lovely shimmer. I knew I wanted to use this months featured embossing powder, Calypso, so I used colors that would match it when I colored the background. I used distress ink on a craft mat to color the background, spritzed some water and smooshed the stamped paper in it a few times until I liked the look. It turned out really pretty. 

I die cut the sentiment out of the background and mounted it with foam squares on black cardstock to make it pop. I also adhered the in-between shapes to the sentiment. I made my own custom glitter paper by embossing stri…
